That’s huge!

I’m always shocked at how many DIY’ers restore a hull w/no consideration as to if it’s straight or not.

Yrs ago I did one where there was 2” difference in height, at transom, side to side at chines!

On smaller boats, I build a jig, bolt it to the floor and strap the hull to it.

FYI, saw a great cartoon of a good looking woman offering her services to a “John”, and said she’d do anything he wanted.

The John replied, how do you feel about grinding fiberglass?
